Caste

The caste system is a system in India that was once mainly used by Hindus. It started as a job system. It later became a social class system. There are four castes in this system.

• Shudra - teacher, doctor, religious person
• Kshatriya - warrior, ruler, politician, administrative worker
• Vaishya - trader, merchant, farmer
• Brahmin - priests
• "Untouchables" - came much later after the other four groups and consisted of sweeping ashes after cremations or tanning animals skins.
